Manga Shakespeare interpretation, which incorporates fresh ideas and
thoughtful settings, will introduce the classic play to a new audience
of Shakespeare fans.
**Praise for *Twelfth Night
***"This manga adaptation of Shakespeare's romantic comedy is as
enjoyable as the Bard intended. Li's sweet shojo art style fits the
story perfectly, and the pseudohistorical setting is fun. Her deft touch
with facial expressions, comic inserts, and chibis (cute little cartoon
characters) will help readers understand the Elizabethan dialogue. This
solid entry in the Manga Shakespeare series will make a useful addition
to class studies, especially for teachers reluctant to use adaptations
with simplified language." -Booklist
